The obvious disconnect is in the definition of "more rewarding". Requiring 250% more exp for something that was already BORING does not translate into "more rewarding". Am I missing something or does more rewarding now mean boring and painful?
Maybe they hacked into our webcams and the "special" thing for all the troubles will be a video showing everyones reaction to still no 2x refinement after the additional 2 hours of downtime.
Pure and Transcendent enchants are there solely as an AD sink. Once you put RP and GMOPS into it your done and need to buy a perfect. So unless you are a whale and have extra RP you don't know what to do with, just go for the Perfect.
The community manager works for Cryptic. The servers have been down for about 6 hours, I think they could have made 1 or 2 phone calls in that time to provide the updated information. Someone from Cryptic put it in the news item, so clearly it came from somewhere. It should not be a huge endeavor to provide an update on it…
So, in all this time during the maintenance, they couldn't take 5 minutes to put up a post regarding 2x? Very poor time management and communication skills.
They added this back in the day when bots used to enter Dom just for exp. I believe the cutoff is well less than 15 minutes. I'd say 5 - 10. It's best to bring up the AH and hit a few keys every now and then if the match is pretty much over.
When they say more info to come, do they mean next week after the listed date has come and gone? Usually more info to come, implies just that, more info, in a reasonable time frame in advance of the said event.
Something needs to be done. As has been noted, a big issue (besides build or iLvL) is the fact that you can end up with too many non DPS classes in a single instance. I can pretty much guarantee a failure if you had a mixture of just Paladins, GFs and DCs. So either they fix the way the queue works or they nerf again. The…
If you mean, costs lots of RP but performs worse than a perfect so you need to buy more Zen to purchase a perfect after upgrading, then YES it's working as intended.
Well he is right. If they adjusted the timer slightly and got rid of the death animation (where you lose about 4-6 seconds), it would be a bit more reasonable.
Why do you think they need an AD sink. They got rid of almost all farming, only the old rich folks have AD. The new/casual folks, not so much. What they need is more things to actually do (and I don't mean grind). Dropping the # of dungeons and giving them pretty much nothing that you can make AD on was a huge step…
It's 20% lower than what it was. As was mentioned Stormspell was the compensation for the extreme nerfs that were done to shard among other things. This is just a bug bend over nerf. But clearly the new dev team doesn't care about what was discussed in the past It's one thing if they want to "tweak" things a bit, but this…
Sadly there isn't anything to be constructive about. The "old" team did a horrible job of patching, balancing and all that. I didn't think anyone could do a worse job. I was proven wrong. These new guys are far worse. Just keep watching the peak users decline.
So if it's this hard for BiS players, do you think anyone with green or blue gear will be able to do anything? A challenge is one thing but a frustrating slaughter is poor design.
It will be after this Mod goes live. If folks with rank 10s and new artifact gear are having problems, I don't see the average player sticking around. A challenge is one thing, but an *** whooping is something else.
I've managed to refine 6 rank 9 enchants from 0 to full on just rank 2 and 3 enchants. Feel free to mail me your stacks of rp that you want to discard :)
All things being equal, a higher gear score means a quicker kill (or greater chance of succeeding). A DC and a GF can get away with a lower GS due to their roles. DPS classes can't get away with it. I agree a 16k+ running a split set or BI is just as useless as a 10-12K, but at the same time too many low GS people (even…
Sorry ranking doesn't mean anything. It gets reset after each round and takes healing and damage TAKEN into higher consideration than DPS. At the end of the day you need to finish off all 5 heads in a 2 minute window. If your not doing major dps to the heads your not really assisting much in the win. The clerics are the…
Those aren't best case conditions, those are fantasy conditions. You will NEVER not get stunned or hit. You will NEVER be able to stand in one place and hit all the heads. Bottom line, a 10K should not be allowed into Tiamat.
Your forgetting a whole bunch of things. First off, a 10K character won't be able to take any of the hits from the adds or breath attacks. There is a big difference banging away at a training dummy compared to an active encounter that occasionally stuns and has mobs that can hit for 25K a pop. Next you are forgetting that…
The chance is NOT per kill when there is an ICD. You can kill 10000000000 mobs which would guarantee a drop, but if it's on cool down the drop chance is 0.
That is a very short sighted statement. Personally, I could care less about "botting" as long as it doesn't affect my gameplay. What do I care if another character in the game is a "bot" or actual player..... until such point as it impacts my gameplay. So, I don't want bots in PVP. Gold selling? I could care less, I don't…
